The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society
of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to
the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare.
Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad-
emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific
and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding en-
gineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members,
sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the
federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-
ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is presi-
dent of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in
the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti-
tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its
congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own
initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V.
Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the
government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Coun-
cil is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr.
Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of
the National Research Council.

Preface
In April 2009, as the committee was preparing to respond to reviewer
input and finalize this report, a multi-country outbreak of a new influenza
A(H1N1) virus was being reported. First detected as a cluster of cases of
severe respiratory illness with multiple deaths in Mexico, a unique influenza
A virus was isolated that was originally reported as having genes of swine,
avian, and human origin and therefore it was immediately referred to as
“swine flu.” Influenza A(H1N1) virus has since spread to 74 countries and,
as of June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared it the first
pandemic in more than 40 years. Although the virus is now circulating in
humans, the presumed link with swine led to public confusion on how the
virus was being spread, consequently leading to pork industry losses of
approximately $28 million dollars per week and the banned importation
of pigs and pork products by at least 15 countries. The specifics of when
and how this virus emerged, in what populations, how long its circulation
has gone undetected, and the identity of the source of exposure remain the
focus of ongoing investigations. While it is not possible to fully analyze the
progression and impact of events with the benefit of time and hindsight
before completing the work on this report, this outbreak serves to illustrate
many of the issues discussed in this report.
The committee’s consensus report traces the need and existing capacity
for global, sustained, integrated zoonotic disease surveillance and response
capacity; discusses the current gaps, challenges, and inadequacies with ex-
isting systems; and suggests new approaches to more effectively achieve the
requirements of an “ideal” system. Looking forward with the benefit of past
experience, including what we know about the current influenza A(H1N1)
